Great it works for you. You probably have the hyperactive type of ADHD. For me and my daughter with inattentive/non-hyperactive ADD, doing physical things, while fun, just make us tired and want to sleep. Not a good idea if you need to focus and get work done.
I take daily medication and it has been literally life saving as I was able to turn things around and keep my marriage from falling apart, not to mention my happiness from being able to accomplish much, much more. I'm holding off medication for my daughter only because it lessens appetite and she is very skinny already. Once she's grown to her full height we'll get her meds she can use too.
I feel for you, I hope you guys settle on something that works with as little sides as possible. It's a spectrum with a lot of means to address a moving target, so some trial and error unfortunately comes with it. Luckily I was able to work with my doc to find things that work for the things that eustress cannot solve. Just curious, what do you take?
